Biography

Note: Now Defunct

As described by: exitfare.blogspot.com/

Recently, I came across yet another Leeds band that totally blew me out of the water—Mother Vulpine. Immediately after hearing the thunderous opening chords of “We’ll Be Detectives,” I knew I’d be a fan. The heady vocals and softer, almost ghost-like back-up vocal counterpoint really drive the song forward though the jumpy guitar licks and energetic drumming certainly help. They remind me of early Muse (before they turned into sci-fi nerds obsessed with the apocalypse) or Editors (if Kele Okereke from Bloc Party was singing), which really are clearly compliments of the highest order.

The real question I want to pose to readers is who is Mother Vulpine? Do they have a record out (or plans for one)? Are they really siblings? What are their thoughts on global warming? I scoured the internet trying to find out more about this incredibly powerful young group, but frankly I couldn’t find much of anything. The band doesn’t have an official website and only provides scant information on their Myspace. I know that their songs have been listened to 46 times by Last.Fm users and that their drummer has a personal blogspot where he discusses his artwork, but that’s about it. I’d love to find out more, so leave your show reviews and booze fueled sex antecdotes in the comments.

    God i wish this band were still around and properly recorded a good bunch of songs. Out of the offspring of this band I'd have to go with Pulled Apart By Horses over Dinosaur Pile-up. They have a far more interesting sound and they seem to shake it up a bit. Their cover of Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair" for Radio 1s live lounge is just awesome.

    yo, run down is they split...matt formed dinosaur pile up (www.myspace.com/dinosaurpile up) and bass player tom formed pulled apart by horses (www.myspace.com/pulledapartbyhorses) randomly the post on this page from jamesbonebrown is the other guitarist in PABH, i think he used to manage or help out with mother vulpine!? PABH have a self titled album out which is absolutely rad and DPU have on out in the next couple of weeks called growing pains which from early previews doen't seem to bad either. Peace

    About Dinosaur Pile Up, I think "Love is a Boat and We're Sinking" is their best song, most reminiscent of Bigland's time with Mother Vulpine.

    I'm still upset... Does anyone know where I can find Teething, The Demise of Mr. Gle, Wolf song and Snow Falling In Unison? I've listened to the other four songs I've found to death.

    Just noticed you guys have a few tracks up on iTunes. THANK GOD! Can you put all your songs on there? That'd be awesome. You guys need to get big. Like you have to. You're too amazing to fade away. You need to get big and make heaps of big tracks and then come to Australia. Seriously.

    OMG! Just saw the vid for Keep Your Wits Sharp. Possibly the most orgasmic thing I've ever witnessed. I love your music. It's insanely awesome! Will you be putting songs on itunes? I live in Australia...
